Ελασμοβράγχιοι (καρχαρίες και σαλάχια) (sharks and rays) > Heterodontiformes (Bullhead and horn sharks) > Heterodontidae (Bullhead, horn, or Port Jackson sharks)
Etymology: Heterodontus: heteros (Gr.), different; odontos (Gr.), tooth, referring to pointy teeth (for clutching prey) at front of jaws, different than rounded molar-like teeth (for grinding hard-shelled invertebrates) at the back. (See ETYFish); galeatus: Latin for helmeted, probably referring to high, enlarged supraorbital ridges or crest. (See ETYFish).

Short description Κλείδες προσδιορισμού | Μορφολογία | Μορφομετρία

Ραχιαίες άκανθες (συνολικά) : 2; Εδρικές άκανθες: 0. Body with broad blackish bands or saddle markings (Ref. 9838).

A moderately common benthic and epibenthic shark found on the continental shelf (Ref. 247, 43278). Occurs from close inshore to about 93 m depth (Ref. 247, 43278). Feeds primarily on sea urchins, but also on crustaceans, mollusks, and small fishes (Ref. 31369). Oviparous, egg cases spirally flanged and with long tendrils (Ref. 6871). Hatches at about 22 cm (Ref. 6871).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturities | Αναπαραγωγή | Spawnings | Egg(s) | Fecundities | Προνύμφες

Oviparous, paired eggs are laid. Embryos feed solely on yolk (Ref. 50449). Distinct pairing with embrace (Ref. 205).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 20.2 - 24, mean 21.8 °C (based on 16 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5059 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00380 (0.00166 - 0.00872), b=3.15 (2.95 - 3.35), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Τροφικό Επίπεδο (Ref. 69278): 3.7 ±0.53 se; based on food items.

Ελαστικότητα (Ref. 120179): Πολύ χαμηλό, ελάχιστος χρόνος για διπλασιασμό πληθυσμού > 14 έτη (tm=11.8).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Very high vulnerability (90 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 2.87 [0.37, 11.82] mg/100g; Iron = 0.113 [0.027, 0.319] mg/100g; Protein = 19.5 [17.2, 21.5] %; Omega3 = 0.198 [0.078, 0.467] g/100g; Selenium = 7.8 [2.2, 24.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 33.2 [8.1, 135.9] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.439 [0.206, 0.907] mg/100g (wet weight);
